I put a small amount of Anti Seiz on the threads. The Oil Cooler threads are aluminum, and the Cooler Line end is steel. Might help from the two dissimilar metals corroding together.

The threads is not what does the sealing, it is the ball/socket of the two fittings.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
